The other thread (link above) has more details but its basically a HD stinger rear wheel for a Fat Bob......6.0x18 and a 200/55-18 tire added with NOT A SINGLE MODIFICATION...........just remove your old wheel and install this one, job done!
) and I could not make mine anymore comfortable to ride, but I did not have any problems with the bike handling my size, just being BIG takes a toll on the back and other body parts. I traded for a Road Glide Custom, rode almost 50 miles this evening and no back pains.

6'01", 275-280 lbs. Dyna FXDX. Mid control. I love it. I upgraded the front and rear suspension cause I ride like a fool, but I don't see any problems other than looking a bit like a circus bear when you ride. But who really cares, I like kinda like a circus bear no matter what I'm doing.

Im over 5'11" and 315 (and Ive lost weight!)...so Im a barrel ***!......I have no problems with my Street Bob, just had to change out the stock seat, replaced with a C&C two up sport seat and forward controls.....dont feel like a circus bear and the bike handles great....the seat makes all of the difference in the world....seat, foot placement and bar position are what matters the most..

Im 6'2'' 315 and my street bob pulls my big a$$ around just fine! I recommend forwards and some big a$$ apes! Made mine feel like I'm riding a Cadillac!
